From Mushrooms to Banana Leaves

Marco is a fashion and commercial model, turned corporate guy, turned entrepreneur. He started a company that grows and sells mushrooms. It’s called Ministry of Mushrooms.

Yes this is the same dress I wore to the vintage circus birthday party. I’m a shameless repeater. Besides, I wore it in the show first. Not that it matters. It’s from K&Company. (By the way, K&Co now has a branch in Alabang Town Centre. Yay!)

This is Marco and his partners at work in their mushroom farm. For more info on Ministry of Mushrooms, check out their Facebook page. Photo from Expat Travel and Lifestyle Magazine.

Cocktales executive producer Giselle Ordinario with Marco.

Last week we had my friend Rommel Juan, the owner and creator of Binalot.

It was hard to concentrate during the interview while talking about adobo, pritong bangus, tapa and all our favourite comfort food. Plus salted egg. All conveniently wrapped in smoked banana leaves. Oh my. Cita and I seriously got hungry. Haha.
